The 77 Annual at last!

 

It's not Christmas as I battle with strong winds and rain apart from getting my hair cut at the Barbers this morning  as it's grown  a bit but out of sync one thing has arrived.

It had been announced that a new comic Annual was coming out but like many niche things being dependant upon crowd sourcing from the likes of Kickstarter, it all takes time to get to the point the print run can be set to roll.

The77 annual is a bumper 136 page anthology of original stories in a very modern take on the 80s UK annual format.

Comic annuals always were a staple of Christmas's with me for being something you'd gain much enjoying from reading across the year and given the loss of so many of the comics and associated annuals I grew up with to have a all new one was just a dream.

Created by a mix of the best new talent and creators we know and love including the likes of Glenn Fabry, Lew Stringer, Steve Pugh, Andrew Sawyers and Ade Hughes some that do work for mainstream comics and others mixing with independents.

This Annual features the greatest strips from one of the hottest independent comics around and covers a multitude of genres from Sci Fi to WW2 that makes for a varied read which was more what I looked for back then.

This is just the tonic I've been looking for in the last few weeks.
